A foreclosure or bankruptcy is never good for your credit, this is something you'd be better off discussing with an attorney. You can avoid foreclosure by filing bankruptcy.

How long do you have to wait to file bankruptcy after I have passed a property on to your son?

Thank you for passing your property to my son. Since I do not have a son, I guess it remains in limbo. If your son paid you the value (equity) of your home, you will have to disclose the transfer, but it will have no effect on your bankruptcy. If you gave the property to your son for free, and there was equity in the property, probably two years, if you gave the property knowing you were insolvent and intending to deprive your bankruptcy estate of the asset. It would have been better to discuss this with a bankruptcy lawyer before passing the property, as you might have been able to exempt the property in the filing.

Do all owners of undivided property have to sign a mortgage?

Yes. An experienced, quality lender will require that all of the owner's sign the mortgage since the underlying principal of mortgages is that if there is a default the lender can take possession of the property by foreclosure. If there are multiple owners and only one signed the mortgage the lender could only foreclose on that person's interest in the property. It could not take possession of the property.Ask around at your local banks for a better idea about what to expect for an answer. Beware of predatory lenders who will promise you anything and then empty your pockets for closing costs and fees.

Should you file bankruptcy when there is a foreclosure and pending divorce situation and you do not want to keep the house and can not repay any money still owed to the lender?

If the mortgage is in both names, or if there is significant joint debt, you are better off filing bankruptcy jointly before the divorce is final. If the mortgage company forgives the balance, it will count as income to you and you will have to pay taxes on it in the following year, unless you file bankruptcy. Or the mortgage company can sue on the deficiency and get a judgment good for 10 or 20 years. Unless you file bankruptcy.


Would it be better to use a Quit Claim or Warranty Deed to transfer a property to an LLC and would my bank have a problem with it?

In california-grandmother died with home loan in her name but the house was quick deeded in my name before she died-can I leave loan in her name and continue to pay?

That is not a good thing to do. If the bank realizes it, they can foreclose immediately. Better to have the estate clear out the mortgage.
